I'm disappointed, BK. First of all, in your choice of titles. It is inflamatory. Second, what's the point in posting links to these two unrelated news stories? To imply that there is a current risk to VOC residents? Just to scare people? Just to perpetuate the rumor-mongering about...

FWIW, there's a new middle school under construction at Cherry St. and 20th. It should open for the 2011-12 school year. It will have a music building, library, soccer field, lots of basketball courts. Hope they have the funds to staff the amenities. A library without books and a music...
